In the distance, Feng He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could now feel a little more at ease.
At least, now that Huang Xiao had succeeded, he probably would not demand any more essence blood from him.
Feng He knew he still had quite a bit of trouble ahead. With Huang Xiao and Huo Lian as they were now, pressuring and threatening them would probably no longer have much effect.
As Huo Lian had said, the Ancient Battlefield represented only a possibility. Once they reached it, the greater likelihood was that they would gain nothing at all.
A secret place like that, which offered no guarantee of enormous benefits, was no longer enough to threaten Huo Lian and Huang Xiao.
Originally, only by combining it with this cultivation method had he been able to make Huo Lian give ground.
Now he had to think of a way to get Huo Lian and Huang Xiao to let him go.
Just as I thought. I knew he wanted to use this converted strand of divine sense to control me. Unfortunately for him, it won't work. Feng He sensed Huang Xiao guiding that strand of divine sense aura into the Supreme Ghost Stele.
To Feng He, this meant Huang Xiao still refused to give up and wanted to use the Supreme Ghost Stele to control him.
It worked. It can enter the Supreme Ghost Stele, Huang Xiao thought delightedly.
"Huang Xiao, it looks like you succeeded," Huo Lian said.
"Not completely," Huang Xiao said. "There's still one thing to be confirmed."
"Of course you haven't completely succeeded. You finally realize you can't control me now, don't you?" Feng He said with a laugh.
"Feng He, I told you, this has nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself," Huang Xiao said
